I just came back from an unsuccessful elk hunt. I had a decent shot and could not understand how I could have missed. I shot the Omega at the hunting altitude and temperature and found the impact point at 50 yards a full foot higher than what I had sighted in at lower altitude and higher temperature. I also found the stock is still touching the barrel in several places depending on how much torque is put on the screws and which one is tightened first. I think I am going to try to figure out a way to pillar bed the synthetic stock. I am considering threading a piece of aluminum (or steel) and screwing it into the stock mounting hole area after drilling and tapping the holes. Then drill the center of the metal to accept the mounting screws. Then bedding the whole thing with bedding compound and sanding clearance for the barrel forward of the front mounting lug. I cannot get the synthetic stock to hold zero the way it is. I also will not sight in so far from the altitude and temperature of the hunting area next year if I am lucky enough to get drawn again. Maybe just buy a laminated stock and be done with it.
